Default ABS Dash LIGHT is ON 95 Accoed EX

Just bought the car for my daughter 3 days ago and now the YELLOW ABS light is on all the time but only after starting the engine and hearing a noise coming from under the hood at the ABS system in the front left side fender. What the heck, stopped by dealer nd parts guy said ohh you need to spend a grand to replace that unit, tell me he knows nothing PLEASE!!

1995 Accord Coupe 2.2 5 speed Vtec

Maybe true but maybe a LOT more simple.

Try bleeding the ABS.

Try this
http://www.troublecodes.net/honda/
but watch ABS lamp instead

Long flash & Long pause (not part of code yet)

Short flashes = 1st digit of code
short pause
Short flashes = 2nd digit of code

long pause

next code, etc

Have you shorted that service connector under the glove box to determine what is causing the ABS light to come on? That will give us a pretty good idea of what is wrong with your daughter's abs system.

The abs codes that will flash have two component numbers. When you turn the key to the II position, the abs light will stay on for 2 seconds then turn off for 2 seconds. It will flash the main code, pause for 1 second, then flash the sub code. There will be a 5 second pause, and it should repeat the code(s) 3 times.

Just for grins, incase they fix the search fn around here...

Beginning in 1998 Accord has a completely different ABS system with different error codes & different syntax of flashes.
